Yes, that's what it is for. Also make sure to actually pull in the
target from your service too. Hence you want:
Before=network-pre.target
Wants=network-pre.target
n-p.t is a target that is "passive", it needs to be pulled in by the
implementor of such a service, not by the consumer of it. This has the
benefit that as long as no service wants to hook into this nothing is
added to the transactions for bootup and shutdown and thus more can be
parallelized as one synchronization points less is in the queue.
See systemd.special(7) about it as well as

This has been addedin systemd 214.
